Bridged bicyclic kallikrein inhibitors

ABSTRACT

Provided herein are kallikrein modulating compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and uses thereof.

FIELD

This application relates generally to kallikrein modulating compounds, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, and uses thereof.

BACKGROUND

Plasma prekallikrein (PK) is a serine protease zymogen in blood that is converted to its catalytically active form, plasma kallikrein (PK), by coagulation factor XIIa, and contributes to the innate inflammatory response and intrinsic cascade of blood coagulation. The mechanisms that lead to the activation of this pathway in vivo include interactions with poly-phosphates released from activated platelets and deficiency of C1 inhibitor (C1-INH), the primary physiological inhibitor of plasma kallikrein. PK-mediated cleavage of high-molecular weight kininogen generates the nonapeptide bradykinin (BK), which activates the bradykinin 2 receptor. Subsequent cleavage of BK by carboxypeptidases generates des-Arg9-BK, which activates the B1 receptor. Both B1 and B2 receptors are expressed by vascular, glial, and neuronal cell types, with the highest levels of retinal expression detected in the ganglion cell layer and inner and outer nuclear layers. Activation of B1 and B2 receptors causes vasodilation and increases vascular permeability. Bradykinin and its binding to B2 receptor are reportedly responsible for many symptoms of hereditary angioedema (HAE).

Kallikrein is also associated with Hereditary Angioedema (HAE), an autosomal dominant disease characterized by painful, unpredictable, recurrent attacks of inflammation affecting the hands, feet, face, abdomen, urogenital tract, and the larynx. Prevalence for HAE is uncertain but is estimated to be approximately 1 case per 50,000 persons without known differences among ethnic groups. HAE is caused by deficient (Type I) or dysfunctional (Type II) levels of C1-Inhibitor (C1-INH), a naturally occurring molecule that is known to inhibit kallikrein, bradykinin, and other serine proteases in the blood. If left untreated, HAE can result in a mortality rate as high as 40% primarily due to upper airway obstruction.

It is understood that in all substituted groups defined above, polymers arrived at by defining substituents with further substituents to themselves (e.g., substituted aryl having a substituted aryl group as a substituent which is itself substituted with a substituted aryl group, etc.) are not intended for inclusion herein. In such cases, the maximum number of such substituents is three. That is to say that each of the above definitions is constrained by a limitation that, for example, substituted aryl groups are limited to -substituted aryl-(substituted aryl)-substituted aryl.

It is understood that the above definitions are not intended to include impermissible substitution patterns (e.g., methyl substituted with 5 fluoro groups). Such impermissible substitution patterns are well known to the skilled artisan.

In addition, compounds of formula 3 where either or both of R³⁰ and R³¹ are halo can be reacted with compounds of formula R³¹—Y where Y is OH, SH, or NH₂ and R³¹ is as defined above (as in 4-tert-butylphenol, 5-methyl-2-(1-methylethyl)phenol, 3-chlorobenzenethiol or 2,4-dimethylthiophenol, o-toluidine, 3-chloro-4-fluorophenylamine or 1-methyl-2-aminopyrrole), under common literature coupling conditions such as treatment with copper(I) bromide in the presence of 2,5-pentanedione and potassium carbonate in a solvent such as DMF at temperatures ranging from 80 to 130° C. or treatment with sodium tert-butoxide and palladium (II) acetate in the presence of a suitable ligand such as (R)-1-[(SP)-2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)-ferrocenyl]-ethyldi-tert-butylphosphine (Di-tert-butyl-Josiphos), in a solvent such as dimethoxy ethane (DME) at 100° C. or treatment with cesium carbonate and tris(dibenzylideneacetone)-dipalladium(0) (Pd₂(dba)₃) in the presence of a suitable ligand such as 4,5-bis(diphenyl-phosphino)-9,9-dimethylxanthene (Xantphos), in a solvent such as PhMe at 100° C. to provide compounds of formula 4a.

Furthermore, compounds of formula 3 where either or both of R³⁰ and R³¹ are halo can be reacted with compounds of formula R³¹—Y where Y is H and R³¹ is mono or bicyclic heteroaryl, mono or bicyclic heterocyclyl, fused heterocyclyl, spiro heterocycloamino, bridged heterocycloamino, —NR³²R³³ or —NR⁴³C(═O)R⁴⁴; where R³², R³³, R⁴³, and R⁴⁴ are independently, C₁-C₆alkyl, or R³² and R³³ or R⁴¹ and R⁴² together with the nitrogen atom they are bonded to form heterocycloamino (as piperidin-2-one, (2S)-2-(methoxymethyl)-1-pyrrolidine, 1,2,3,4-tetrahvdroisoquinoline, 3-methyl-1H-pyrazole or 1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine), under common literature coupling conditions such as treatment with copper (I) iodide and potassium carbonate in the presence of N¹,N²-dimethylethane-1,2-diamine, in a solvent such as PhMe at 95° C., or treatment with cesium carbonate and Pd₂(dba)₃, in the presence of a suitable ligand such as 2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2′,4′,6′-triisopropylbiphenyl (XPhos), in a solvent such as DMF at 120° C. to provide compounds of formula 4a.

Compounds of formula 4b are prepared from compounds of formula 4a by methods well known in the art. For example, when J is C(═O)OMe, hydrolysis with a metal hydroxide (M-OH in scheme 1 where M is Li, K, or Na) in a mixed solvent system such as THF and methanol (MeOH) or THF and water at temperatures ranging from 20 to 60° C. generates carboxylic acids of formula 4b. When J is a halogen, carbonylation of 4a under well-known methods such as treatment with catalytic amounts of palladium (II) acetate and Xantphos (vide supra) in the presence of triethylamine (Et₃N) in a mixed solvent system such as methanol inl,4-dioxane at 80° C., under an atmosphere of carbon monoxide (CO) provides a methyl carboxylate intermediate which can then be hydrolyzed under conditions described above, to provide carboxylic acids of formula 4b.

Coupling of an acid of formula 4b and a compound of formula HZ—X¹—R¹ then provides a compound of Formula (I). The reaction conditions depend on the nature of R³, R⁴, Z, X¹ groups. For example, compounds of Formula (I) where R³ and R⁴ together with the carbon they are attached to form C═O and Z is NR¹³ can be prepared by reacting a compound of formula 4b where R³ and R⁴ together with the carbon they are attached to form C═O with a compound of formula R¹³NH—X¹—R¹ in the presence of a coupling agent such as 1-[bis(dimethylamino)-methylene]-1H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-b]pyridinium 3-oxid hexafluorophosphate (HATU) and hydroxybenzotriazol (HOBt), or 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDCI) and HOBt, or benzotriazol-1-yl-oxytripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBOP) in an appropriate solvent such as dimethylformamide (DMF) at ambient temperature to provide a compounds of Formula (I).

It will be readily apparent to a person skilled in the art that compounds of Formula (I)

can be prepared as described above by replacing compound of formula 1 with a compound of formula 11

Compounds of formula 11 such as 3-phenylfuran, 3,4-dimethoxyfuran, 3-bromo-1-(triisopropylsilyl)pyrrole, 1-[1-(benzenesulfonyl)-1H-pyrrol-3-yl]ethanone are available from commercial sources or can be prepared by methods known to those who are skilled in the art. Other compounds can be prepared following methods known in the art, or by adapting methods known in the art or provided herein.

Utility

In another aspect, this application provides a method for inhibiting plasma kallikrein activity in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound or a pharmaceutical composition provided herein.

Kallikrein inhibitors are contemplated to have clinical utility in disease states such as hereditary angioedema (HAE), diabetic retinopathy, macular edema and other inflammatory disorders. The contact pathway of blood coagulation, leading to kallikrein production, is activated during acute episodes of swelling of face, extremities, larynx and gastrointestinal tract in HAE patients. Blisters formed during attacks contain high levels of kallikrein which mediates a potent inflammatory response via bradykinin formation. HAE patients are genetically deficient in the physiologic inhibitor of plasma kallikrein (C1 inhibitor) or have a dysfunctional C1 inhibitor or F12 gene mutations and cannot suppress the enzyme's catalytic activity. An oral kallikrein inhibitor is contemplated to provide benefit during both acute attacks and in prophylactic suppression of bradykinin production in HAE patients. Angioedema induced by treatment with angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors accounts for one third of angioedema cases in the emergency room. The largest groups of patients with drug induced angioedema are those treated with ACE inhibitors; kallikrein inhibitors are contemplated to be useful for treating this patient population.

Plasma kallikrein are contemplated to have implications in disorders such as (HAE) (see Nzeako et al., Arch Intern Med., 161, 2417-2429, 2001), retinopathy or diabetic retinopathy (see A. C.

Step 1: To a stirred solution of 5-bromo-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-one (12.60 g; 59.15 mmol; 1 eq.) in dichloromethane (591 mL) cooled to −78° C. was added DIBAL (59.15 ml; 1 mol/l; 59.15 mmol; 1 eq.) (1 M solution in toluene) dropwise and the mixture was stirred at −78° C. After 60 minutes, approximately 10% more DIBAL solution was added (6 mL) and the reaction left for additional 30 minutes. Before proceeding with the work up, celite was added to the reaction mix, followed up with addition of water (2.64 mL), then 15% NaOH (2.64 mL) and water (6.6 mL). The reaction mix was removed from bath and left to reach RT, then stirred at RT for 40 min before filtering it over celite. The filtered solution was dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered and concentrated to dryness to give 5-bromo-1,3-dihydro-2-benzofuran-1-ol as a white solid. Partial Yield: ˜10.0 g. The celite cake was transferred to a round bottom flask and stirred with DCM for 30 minutes, filtered and dried over Na₂SO₄; filtered again and concentrated to give additional 1.3 g of product and a total of 11.3 g were obtained (˜89% yield).

Step 2: Sodium hydride (2.41 g; 60.16 mmol; 1.25 eq.) was suspended in THF (600 mL) and the mixture was cooled to 0° C. in an ice bath. A solution of 5-bromo-1,3-dihydro-2-benzofuran-1-ol (10.35 g; 48.13 mmol; 1 eq.) in THF (200 mL) was added slowly to the suspension and the resulting mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. Iodomethane (14.98 mL; 240.65 mmol; 5 eq.) was added over a 5 minute period and the mixture was allowed to warm to RT. After stirring overnight, the reaction mixture was quenched with ice water and extracted with diethyl ether. The aqueous layer was back extracted once and the combined organics were washed with brine, then dried over MgSO₄, filtered and concentrated. The crude material was purified on a silica gel column using 0-10% EtOAc in heptane to give the desired product as clear oil which solidified under high vacuum to give 5-bromo-1-methoxy-1,3-dihydro-2-benzofuran 9.0 g (78%).

Step 3: To a solution of 5-bromo-1-methoxy-1,3-dihydro-2-benzofuran (12.15 g; 53.04 mmol; 1 eq.) in diethyl ether (200 mL) cooled to 0° C. was added commercial 2M LDA solution in THF/heptane/ethylbenzene (79.56 mL; 2 mol/l; 159.12 mmol; 3 eq.) dropwise. The reaction mix turned progressively dark brown and the dark cloudy mixture was stirred at 0° C. After 15-20 minutes, the reaction mix was diluted with diethyl ether and quenched with saturated solution of NH₄Cl. The organic layer was isolated and the aqueous layer was back extracted with ether. The combined organics were dried over Na₂SO₄, filtered and concentrated to give 5-bromoisobenzofuran (100%) which was used directly for the next reaction.

The resulting solution was stirred for an additional 30 min at room temperature then it was quenched with water. The resulting mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and washed with H₂O. The organic layers were combined and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by a silica gel column eluting with ethyl acetate/petroleum ether (1:10) o deliver 336.0 g (1.51 mol, 63.3%) of (±) 4-bromo-11-oxatricyclo[6.2.1.0^(2,7)]-undeca-2,4,6,9-tetraene as a yellow solid.

Biological Assays Example 1 In Vitro Plasma Kallikrein Inhibition Assay Materials

The chromogenic substrate D-Pro-Phe-Arg-pNa, 2HCl (BIOPHEN CS-31(02) from Hyphen BioMed, Neuville-Sur-oise, France) was dissolved in 5 mL deionized water and stored at 4° C. Concentration was determined in the spectrophotometer at 342 nm using an extinction coefficient of 8270. All other chemicals were of analytical grade.

Human plasma kallikrein was purchased from Enzyme Research Labs (South Bend, Ind., USA, batch HPKa 2830). A stock solution of 7 μM in 50% glycerol was stored at −20° C.

Enzyme reactions were conducted in “assay buffer” comprised of 20 mM HEPES at pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% PEG-8000 and 0.01% Triton X-100.

Both enzyme and substrate were diluted in assay buffer.

The compound solutions as well as the enzyme and the substrate solutions were transferred to 96-well plates (Clear, UV-Star, Flat-bottom, Half-Area plates; cat. No. 675801 Greiner Bio-one, purchased from VWR International, Arlington Heights, Ill., USA) using a Rainin LTS 96-channel pipettor (Rainin, Columbus, Ohio, USA). Plate measurements were conducted using a SPECTROStar Nano reader (BMG Labtech, San Francisco, Calif., USA). The SPECTROStar Nano is a spectrophotometer and absorbance was measured at 405 nm. We used discrete wavelength, precise, kinetic reads of 15 cycles with a 60 sec cycle time.

For the determination of IC₅₀ values, the assays were performed at room temperature in 96-well plates with a total assay volume of 85 μL per well. The test compound was dissolved in 100% DMSO. The compounds were serially diluted in DMSO in a 7 point dose response. For the assays, 66.5 μL of protease solution (protease in assay buffer) was added per well followed by the addition of 8.5 μL of compound in 100% DMSO. The final assay concentration of the human plasma kallikrein was 250 pM. After 30 min. incubation at room temperature on an orbital shaker, the reactions were started by the addition of 10 μL substrate solution (in assay buffer, final assay concentration was 600 uM). After the addition of the substrate solution the final DMSO concentration was 10%. The plate was placed again on the shaker for 5 sec, spun at 2000 rpm for 5 sec and read on the spectrophotometer. The effect of the compound on the enzymatic activity was obtained from the linear part of the progress curves and determined after 15 minutes. The IC₅₀ value was calculated from the plot of rate vs. inhibitor concentration by a 4 parameter logistic equation:

y=A+((B−A)/(1=((C/x)̂D)))

where y is the rate at the inhibitor concentration, x. A is the minimum y value at the highest inhibitor concentration and B is the y value in the absence of inhibitor, C is the IC₅₀ value and D is the slope factor. The curve fitting was conducted with the non-linear regression routine of the analysis software XLfit (IDBS, version 5.3.1).

A 5.1 mM solution of the chromogenic substrate D-Pro-Phe-Arg-pNA, 2HCl (BIOPHEN CS-31-02) from Hyphen BioMed (Neuville-Sur-oise, France) was prepared by dissolving 25 mg of the chromogenic substrate D-Pro-Phe-Arg-pNA, 2HCl in about 5 ml deionized water a. The concentration was determined by an absorbance measurement at 342 nm (ε=8270 l/M cm). The solution was stored in the freezer.

Human plasma kallikrein was obtained from Molecular Innovations (Novi, USA). The purchased stock was diluted to 7 M in 50% glycerol and stored at −20° C. The test compounds were provided as 10 mM solutions in DMSO and were serially diluted in the appropriate concentration range in a polypropylene plate with one well as DMSO control.

The reaction buffer contained 26 mM HEPES, 195 mM NaCl, 0.13% PEG8000, 0.013% Triton X-100 pH 7.4. The assays were performed in UV-Star, flat-bottom, half-area plates 96 well plates (Greiner 675801). For the assay, 65 μL of 325 pM kallikrein solution in reaction buffer was added add to each well of the assay plate and 10 μL of a test compound was added. After 30 min incubation on a shaker, 10 μL of D-Pro-Phe-Arg-pNA, 2HCl solution was added. After mixing with the pipette, air bubbles were removed by centrifugation and the reaction was read on the Envision plate reader (Perkin Elmer, MA, USA) for 10 minutes at 405 nm.

For IC₅₀ determination the rates of hydrolysis were plotted against inhibitor concentration and analyzed by regression to a logistic curve.
